For the Los Angeles Clippers, this season has got to go better than the last one. Not that it was all bad. Last year was when epic dunker (but habitual bricker) Blake Griffin found a midrange jump shot. But the big man's progress wasn't quite enough to erase memories of former owner Donald Sterling, and the havoc that he brought to the club right at playoff time.

But here's the good news. Sterling is gone. Griffin's jump shot is still here. And Doc Rivers was just signed to a contract extension. The rocky waters seem to be calming around Staples Arena. And then there's the fact that Chris Paul continues to lead this team.

Paul and Griffin have been dazzling Clippers ticketholders for years. But last year Los Angeles went from "Lob City" to "Win City." Rivers turned them into legitimate title contenders when he arrived from Boston. The Clippers began playing defense, and center DeAndre Jordan (like Griffin, formally only known for dunking) led the league in rebounding and field goal percentage. Jordan Crawford embraced his role as first man up, taking home the second "Sixth Man of the Year" Award of his career at the end of the 2014 season.

The Clippers were explosive last year. Paul led the league in assists per game. The team scored the most points in the league, and of course they were among the lead leaders in alley oops. Crawford seemed to assume the role of the league's most ridiculous shot-maker - a position abruptly vacated by New York's J.R. Smith last year.

But Los Angeles was beaten at its own game in the playoffs. Their matchup with the Oklahoma City was even early. The teams split the first four. OKC took the fifth game, and it appeared the Clippers would force a game seven showdown. They held a double-digit league through most of game six, until league MVP Kevin Durant decided to have his say. Durant reeled off 39 points to emphatically close out the series.

But this is a new year for LA Clipper fans. They are under new ownership. Rivers has a loaded lineup, and the Clippers are the prohibitive favorite to win the Pacific Division. Now the front office is in order, we may finally get to see the Clippers roll all the way to a NBA championship.
